Ingredients

Special equipment: You'll need a round (semi-sphere) silicone mold.

Caramel Cinnamon Bomb

  • 12 oz. chocolate, chopped (or chips)
  • 6 packets Four Sigmatic Chill blend
  • 6 cups milk or non-dairy substitute
  • Caramel North Mallow marshmallows
  • Fleur de sel or coarse sea salt
  • Dairy-free caramel*

S'mores Bomb

  • 12 oz. chocolate, chopped (or chips)
  • 6 Tablespoon Equal Exchange cocoa mix
  • 6 cups milk or non-dairy substitute
  • Dandies mini marshmallows
  • Graham crackers

Matcha Sprinkle Bomb

  • 12 oz. chocolate, chopped (or chips)
  • 6 packets Four Sigmatic Matcha Latte blend
  • 6 cups milk or non-dairy substitute
  • Vanilla North Mallow marshmallows
  • ½ teaspoon Watkins rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

Place 8 oz. of chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat until the chocolate is melted, but not too hot to touch. Mix the remaining chocolate in, a bit at a time, until it's completely melted and about body temperature. Put a small swipe of chocolate on a piece of parchment paper to make sure it sets. If not, add in more chocolate.

Drop 1 Tablespoon of chocolate into each silicone mold and brush the chocolate up the sides and slightly over the top edge. Scrape the top edge of the mold with a metal spatula to ensure each half has a flat edge. Let sit at room temperature until hardened, about 10 minutes. Brush each mold with another 1 Tablespoon chocolate to thicken the outer coating; let cool again.

Into half the mold, place either:

  • Caramel Cinnamon Bomb | 1 packet Four Sigmatic Chill blend, 1 caramel swirl North Mallow marshmallow, and a dollop of dairy-free caramel*
  • S'mores Bomb | 1 Tablespoon Equal Exchange cocoa mix and Dandies mini marshmallows
  • Matcha Sprinkle Bomb | 1 packet Four Sigmatic Matcha Latte blend, 1 vanilla North Mallow marshmallow, and ½ teaspoon Watkins rainbow sprinkles.

Heat a nonstick pan to medium-low. Gently release an unfilled half and place the empty side down in the pan to just melt the edge, then place it on top of the filled halves to form a sphere. If you're having trouble sealing the edge, use the back side of the spoon to lightly melt the part of the seal that needs reinforcement. Let harden for about 20 minutes. When cooled, add the optional garnishes:

  • Caramel Cinnamon Bomb | Drizzle with dairy-free caramel* and sprinkle with fleur de sel or coarse sea salt.
  • S'mores Bomb | Dip a piece of graham cracker in chocolate and place it along with some toasted mini marshmallows on the sphere, then drizzle with extra chocolate.
  • Matcha Sprinkle Bomb | Drizzle with extra chocolate and garnish with matcha and sprinkles.

To use the cocoa bombs, heat 1 cup of milk or non-dairy substitute until very hot. Add the milk to a mug, then gently add the cocoa bomb and enjoy!

Notes

*Dairy-free Caramel

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 Tbsp. coconut cream
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar

In a saucepan, mix together honey, coconut cream, and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and let boil for 2-3 minutes.
